How can I tell ?

Have been looking at purchasing a e92 M3 for about a year now (being very picky) I had my mind set on a 6spd ZCP with low miles but everything I come across usually sells within a day or so before I can arrange flight and other things. Recently found a 2012 6spd With very very low miles in my price range and everything I want in a car but it's not ZCP the dealership doesn't have the original window sticker that came with the car so was curious to see if there is a way to tell with a VIN number exactly what packages the car does come with
Thanks!

ZCP can basically be installed on any car. 359M wheels and lowering springs, done. Passing on a good car just because of ZCP doesn’t make much sense

Heck with everyone's issues with EDC, I prefer a non-ZCP. Find the car with the right options and carbon roof and have a blast.

Yeah think I have might have found the one but just wanted to possibly see if I could see every option it had listed before purchasing

Enhanced premium sound, nav, heated seats. Exterior photos would show wheel and cold weather pack, exhaust, spoiler etc. I like the aluminum trim - wish mine had it instead of carbon stamp leather. That interior looks to be in great shape.

Alpine white (duh), cold weather pack, 19" forged wheels 8.5" front 9.5" rear, no moonroof, and no extra carbon bits or blackout parts. That's a clean looking car.

Idk if I'm blind or just me getting older but does the car look like a mineral white ? Some pics it looks alpine and some looks mineral

Getting a ppi done tomorrow I have been in talks with the dealership for a few days and they had the car off site so they weren't able to get me the paint code but I thought from the vin i would be able to tell as well

Well that VIN you posted is a different car so can't confirm but looks alpine white in all pics except last one unclear.

The VIN you posted does not match the pictures - they are different cars.

VIN e798107 is Jet Black over Speed Cloth with barely any options. Specifically DCT, moonroof, heated seats, and that's it. Definitely not the white 6MT car you posted.

This car fax was sent over to me.

Saw the car on car guru called the dealership ASAP car was listed with 5,600 miles at a steal price maybe starting to think deal might be to good to be true

Put a 200 deposit on the car and having a ppi done tomorrow but idk some thing isn't adding up

See I think it's mineral white!!

Hoping the ppi tomorrow comes back clean! Still a little confused why the vin on the report is coming back as jet black and dct. I guess the vin tomorrow on the car will tell. The dealership didn't provide me any window pics with the vin so can't tell over pics
